The PNC Championship concluded what frequently is called the silly season, but silliness gave way to seriously impressive, the performance delivered by the winners, Matt Kuchar and his son Cameron.

While Woods has been on staff with Bridgestone since 2016, his Nike golf balls dating back to the early 2000s were also made by Bridgestone, something he confirmed in the latest contract announcement.
While Kuchar’s decision did draw plenty of criticism, the logic was still fair. That said, Kuchar’s message to Greyserman may have fallen on deaf ears.

Venezuela’s Jhonattan Vegas, making a comeback from injury, buried a three-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to win for the first time in seven years to beat rookie Max Greyserman by a stroke to collect his fourth career victory.
For the first time since the WGC–Bridgestone Invitational in August 2011, Garcia found himself outside the top 50 on the Official World Golf Ranking, sitting at 51st.
